    Well Jagermeister doesn't form ice so it will not freeze. Most bars keep it refrigerated anyway until the stock levels run low (which happens quite regularly) :) As long as your freezer doesn't go too low into the minus temperture scales you should be fine. However ice will form around the glass and could cause it to shatter if any air gets into the bottle, make sure it is tightly sealed. The Jager itself won't freeze because the alcohol content is so high but it will be unbelievably cold. I had a pal of mine that kept it frozen for 3 years as an experiment when he was in college.

    Wow, he either really hated jager or has an impressive amount of will power to leave alcohol undrunk in his freezer for three years during college!

    It was strange alright. We nicknamed him "anti-christ". He had his own portable freezer, the ones in your bedroom. "Thou shalt take the Jager...and enjoy" was our motto. He was a more of a beer drinker and as a result held a lot of spirits and digestif's in contempt, much to our annoyance.

    NEVER drink Jager which hasn't been chilled! You will definitely get and have a terrible hangover. and yeah its around 23-25€ for a 700ml bottle.

    Same reason you put vodka/rum/gin in the freezer, cos cold drinks are nicer:)

    If drank luke warm or freezing, within seconds it will be the same temp in your stomach. This sounds like the "bad burger" theory I mentioned in another thread. "I drank 12 pints and ate a burger and woke up in tatters, must've been the burger".

    The warm/cold theory is a new one for my list. They mythology surrounding alcohol is utterly amazing, I looked up jager on wikipedia.
    Contrary to an urban legend, it does not contain any deer or elk blood.
    :eek:

    Also
    On its website, the producer recommends that Jägermeister be consumed cold and suggests that it be kept in a freezer at –18°C (0°F) or on tap between –15° and –11°C (5° to 12°F)

    Its possible to get Jager machines. Each one holds about a bottle internally and another 3 (700ml) bottles on the top draining down.
    I've had one but got rid of it, slows down service and is a bit of an eye sore.

    Does the stuff from the tap reach the glass ice cold? The whole tap thing is obviously a marketing gimick. It's not that hard to keep a few bottles in a freezer

    Nope: "colder than ice" is the slogan. They come out at -18°C.

    In Austria it all seems to be sold in the miniature bottles.
    That's one hellofa lot of packaging compared to a 70cl bottle.

    People love to line up the empty bottles on the tables for effect!

    Did that with beer bottle on a ski trip once. Bout 10-12 of us drinking 500ml bottle and got two rows up centre and around and half way back down side by end of the night (2m table). The owner of the bar went to bed and told us to just tidy up and put key back in through the letter box.

    Prob about 130-150 bottles but i suppose thats what happens when you start drinking at lunch...
